Everlast to launch pain relief bands

16/02/2007
 
Manufacturer and licensor of sporting goods, apparel and footwear Everlast Worldwide Inc. has signed a licence agreement with hosiery products company Bossong Mills Inc. to launch the ‘Everlast Pain Manager’, a graduated compression band for joint pain produced with Bossong’s carbon fibre technology. The new product will be distributed by Bossong and marketed under the Everlast brand name.

The technology, which is a blend of bi-component conductive carbon yarns that dissipate electrical charges, works with a unique knit of fabrics that massage the affected areas while helping to improve blood circulation for faster healing. The lightweight, breathable knit is said to offer comfort and support with increased stability to prevent further injury, whilst its tubular construction is said to provide controlled uniform compression to reduce swelling.
